Advancing Oral Cancer Detection and Prevention: Integrating Innovative Screening Tools, Molecular Insights, and Targeted Therapies

Abstract

This publication aims to explore how current clinical practices can enhance the development and use of oral cancer diagnostic tools and molecular advancements for prevention and detection. A review was conducted to determine the evolving development of diagnostic progress, with several tools that are non-invasive, including salivary biomarkers and imaging techniques that can be a promising discovery to increase detection in clinical practice and progression. Related searches and inclusion criteria were used to identify tools to assess or identify the literature search in databases. The study’s essential findings indicate that advanced progress diagnostic approaches and technologies are not yet fully implemented in practice, especially in low-resource countries, where most countries are diagnosed with oral cancer’s late-stage occurrence. This diagnostic study can serve as a baseline for future assignments for related studies, significantly improving the application of diagnostic instruments that can help improve progress compared to the disease mortality rate.
